The '''[[Colony of Calsahara|Westarctican Colony of Calsaraha]]''', formerly the '''Realm of Calsahara''', the '''Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara''', and originally the '''Kingdom of Calsahara''', is a dependent colony of [[Westarctica]] located entirely within the U.S. state of California near the unincorporated community of California Valley on the [[Carrizio Plain]]. Calsahara was founded by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] on 24 November 2009, and existed as an independent sovereign state until it was conquered without resistance during the [[Invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] on 29 October 2017.
'''[[Westarctica]]''' is an area of desolate land in Western Antarctica south of 60° latitude and between 90° and 150° west longitude, an area that was unclaimed until [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] claimed it by filing a [[Claimant Letter|claimant letter]] with nine world governments, a declaration of status not recognized by most established countries, in 2001. The territory consists of the majority of [[Marie Byrd Land]] and a large proportion of [[Ellsworth Land]] with a few additional non-contiguous claims.  It has no year round residents, although seasonal research stations are located in the region. The nation of Westarctica was founded though a loophole in the [[Antarctic Treaty]].


When it was turned into a colony, Grand Duke Travis declared the entire territory to be a gift to the people and nobles of Westarctica. A half-acre of the nation was designated as the [[Colonial Estates]]. The estates are each 10 feet by 10 feet plots of land that have been given to Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobles]]. Possessing Manorial Rights gives the holder the right to be known as Lord/Lady of the Manor.
The [[government of Westarctica]] is headed by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]], and administered with the assistance of the [[Royal Council]]. The Royal Council is overseen by the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]], who is elected democratically and serves a four-year term. There is no official legislative body, however the collected nobles of the [[Peerage of Westarctica]] are frequently consulted on major issues and serve as a sounding board for ideas in the government.
